Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in the group of 19 patients with the confirmed exposure to asbestos was investigated. The cytological and immunocytochemical methods as well as computer morphometry were used in this study. In the groups studied the differences in cell numbers and BAL cell activity were found, especially in the monocytes and macrophages group of cells.
